Check out Velocity Devices. VDI makes a cpu replacement that can be mapped specifically to your vehicle with all your mods. I believe the owners name is Lyle and VDI is out of Calgary. I had an issue with one of his units; he sent me a replacement and an envelope to get the old one back... took...
On Kijiji I came across a vendor from Calahoo. He brings in really nice aluminum trailers from Ultra Trailers,in Manitoba. I bought one of his 16' side load and end load trailer in the fall. Really sweet and it tows great with a low centre of gravity. I'll add a pic or two.... sounds like the...
I had great luck and tons of fun with my Commander. My wife loves it and maybe I'll give the SXS to her and get me a Renegade 1000. That has to be a ridiculous machine. Just seeing if anyone has one yet or an Outlander 1000, or opinions for or against. I'm a very diversified rider and I believe...
I love it up there.... but the Police are slowly trying to shut it down, or at least tighten it up so no one's illegal.
If anyone goes up there.... take your keys out of your machine and lock everything up even if it seems stupid. We had a ton of breakins last season with machines, generators...
We ride up at North Buck Lake. Sand dunes, hills, skeg, mud, everything all in one place. There is a big trail system that goes from Plammanden to Long Lake. This day we went from N. Buck over Chump Lake, over Hope Lake, to Skeleton Lake mostly thru the trails and over the ice. Great area to...
No matter what Commander you buy you'll love. With my XT I have had great luck and 740 km with no issues. I like the electronic gizmo's and d.e.s.s. system Can Am uses. Good amount of power but this 1000 is restricted. I think there is a huge power gain coming if someone can crack the Can Am...
Dec. 29 was hard on Rhino's. We rolled one as well and took a little damage. Man do I love playing in the snow. The dark pics are post roll over. My buddy got out of the track, started slipping on the ice and over he went. Slid about 15' down a hill coming to a rest on a tree. No injuries but...
I am running a 72" Moose plow on my Commander. Works great. But, I do find it doesn't lift high enough. Good sturdy plow and priced well. Swapped out the stock carbide and got a piece of 4" stainless bar and had the bolt holes cut by a plasma.
I bought a slightly heavier cable and went with...
Went to the Sled/ At show in Edmonton this weekend and viewed for my first time a AC Wildcat. Looks like a real fun buggy. Made for play and a good rival for the Polaris XP.
I can see a log or tree coming thru the fender due to the low stance of the machine and no interior fender protection...
KAWIFORD.... really nice Commander.... Love the color. Like that your putting it to work.
I've really had a blast this year with mine. Just finished modding my Moose plow to handle the deep and white that will soon be coming. Can't wait to see how much snow they can push....
Holy.... I know some Can Am's had issues with the X bead locks... first I've seen or heard on a XP. Good thing you weren't hauling when it let go... I wonder if you'll get it warrantied? See if Polaris will stand behind their product... even if your 6 month is up...
I notice the heat when it melted my truck remote control in my centre cup storage area. We were driving slow (15kph) and towing a quad trailer full of smaller people and gear. Climbing hills and sand dunes also carrying a full load of supplies and 2 dogs. So, to say the Cow wasn't working was an...
You know Dale.... sometimes its alright. Depends on how fast you ride. Slow bogging or technical riding it gets warm for sure. Trail riding it's not so bad. Hauling down the road you don't even notice. I'm still going to wrap the exhaust all the way to the can and heat tape the panels and CVT...
Thanks....
No problems with the exhaust being so low other than the heat trapping in the cab. I'm sure its like any machine if you shut down in under water....
The muffler is an automotive style can and the pipe comes in fairly high.
I don't think you can go wrong with a set. Sure there heavy and pricey but in this case you get what you pay for; our contact was Matt at ATV Outfitters. Saved us a good deal of money, just have to wait a few weeks to get the them, but an 8 ply radial that is good in all conditions... I would...
My first review of the Commander was one of the first posted on this site. I've owned it since February and it now has 620km and 53 hours and was one of the first few in Alberta.
After my first real trip out this spring I was impressed with the machine and its durability as I posted in another...
Yeah... it would be a pain in the ass to clean. But, saying that, aren't they all. I don't care what you drive, if your anal about keeping your machine clean then they all take time and energy, but for me that's part of the hobby. I love getting mine slimy and won't stop because its a bit of a...
